Feeling Guilty About Your Farts Causing Global Warming?

Well then give your money to this Australian company, which promises to spend it on neutralizing your methane emissions by purchasing energy-saving products.

IF you own a cat, you know the smelly truth: they break wind and it’s foul. Not only that, it harms the planet.

All forms of flatulence – from cats, dogs, even from Dad – contain methane, a greenhouse gas thought to contribute to climate change.

If you’ve been feeling guilty about it, help is at hand. For just $8, a Sydney-based company, Easy Being Green, can now make your cat carbon-neutral, so it can “live guilt-free for a year”.

Make no mistake, the cat will still smell, and its emissions will still contain methane, but Easy Being Green vows to spend the $8 you give them on products, such as energy saving light bulbs and water-saving shower heads, that reduce emissions elsewhere (if not in your own backyard).

Well, it’s not quite as absurd as Gore’s concert on Antarctica.

Please! Charity (and a good con) begins at home! No need to send your money to an Australian company…send me $8.00, I will stay home and do absolutely nothing!  Greatly minimiziing my carbon footprint…

If enough people will send me $8.00, I will quit my job, get rid of the Dodge Charger, and eliminate all those nasty emissions, too!

Mammals! That’s it! Rob, you’re brilliant. We have to get rid of mammals to control global warming. Now, where to start? Oh….here, kitty, kitty…..

And, Proof…

Nice scam. Let me know if it works. Doing absolutely nothing is a lifelong career goal of mine and if I can get people (particularly my wife) to believe that I’m not only realizing my goal, I’m actually helping save the planet while I’m at it - I’m in. And get paid, too? Sigh.

Nirvana.

I was wondering how to reduce my cat’s guilt.  I don’t think its from methane emissions though: if he’s going to be guilty it should be because I go to work every day and he sits around and does nothing.

Hell, I lease our 5 cats out as carbon sinks and I can make $40 bucks. Per week or per day. Devil is in the details.

Not all farts are bad for the environment.  A friend once said this about his heart throb, Debbie Reynolds, whom he was madly in love with.  Needless to say that was a long time ago—any of you young pups remember Debbie?  Anyway, he said she was so wonderful that she farted fresh air!

@ Proof: Don’t ever give up the Charger. If it were a choice between breaking wind and giving up a Charger, I’d never break wind again, even during those really funny situations (eg: Dutch Oven, etc).
